[Red Mansions] The Road to Empress Dowager

Jin Shiyue looked at Xiao Kai suspiciously, and narrowed his eyes, which were deeper than those of ordinary Han people. His mother came from the Liang family and had Hu blood.

"Xiao Kai, you are very capable. You can plan such vicious revenge."

Xiao Hou has always been a good actor, but facing this good brother who knew him best back then, he would know what he was going to fart even if he pouted his butt, so he didn't know how to act for a while, so he could only laugh.

Xiao Hou said: "Who made him so annoying."

Jin Shiyue wondered: "How did he offend you? You ruined a man, you ruined a man from the root."

This is definitely a more terrible torture than death, let alone a straight man, even a crooked man can't stand those three people like this.

Moreover, these three people are well-known unrestrained/slutty people in the border town, even the low-ranking people in the border town would laugh at them.And they themselves gave up treatment, and the three of them often get together, all of them are sick, and they live with the idea of ​​living one more day, and living one more day to be happy.

Jin Shiyue contacted them after going through a staff member and turning a few turns. They were just lured here to play with a man, and they would get huge rewards for nothing.Of course, you have to leave the border town immediately afterwards.

Timur was kidnapped from the bed by the Erxia in the middle of the night. He was only wearing a Chinese-style Chinese jacket and his hair was loose.Moreover, he was still unable to speak because of the acupressure point. The three of them still don't know Timur's real identity.

Xiao Hou said: "Anyway, I offended you badly, you will understand later, it's better if you don't understand now, you just pretend that you haven't done this before."

Jin Shiyue snorted coldly and said, "A Mongolian tribal prince is not easy to mess with, so don't set yourself on fire."

Xiao Hou found Jin Shiyue, he was only responsible for letting his staff contact the three people, but he didn't know the tricks and serial tricks in this case.He didn't know there was a wonderful drama between Ouyang Lei and Chunyu Bai, and he didn't know that the court and the Mongolians would take over the drama passively.

Chunyu Bai came back to his senses and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Jin, he will never doubt that we did it at this moment."

Jin Shiyue said: "Jin admires the kung fu of both of you very much. You can steal such a big living person out of the hall without anyone knowing."

Ouyang Lei cupped his fists and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, it's an honor for the two of us to meet a friend like Master Jin this time."

Mrs. Xiao Hou rinsed her mouth with a water bag, her face was still a little pale, and she said, "Let's go, then we have nothing to do here."

Xiaohou felt sorry for Madam, he held her hand and said: "Madam is suffering, next time I will not make things difficult for you as husband."

Mrs. Xiaohou picked his ear: "Is there a next time?"

"Mistress, be gentle, it hurts...it hurts..." Xiao Hou called out, the second hero stopped talking, he got used to it.Their lovely junior sister or cousin is completely a tigress here in Xiaohou.

Jin Shiyue also turned his head, with mixed feelings in his heart.They can only be brothers, not lovers. Now that they are married and have sons, the embarrassing things in their youth are just an indelible memory.

……

A new small tent was erected outside the bedroom tent where the emperor "retreats and heals his wounds" to serve as Xing Xiuyan's husband's office.Although he was hunted in the north, memorials and memorials were delivered every day in Kyoto. Xing Xiuyan had the authorization of Tu Yuanyi and could only review the memorials on his behalf.

Every day, Mr. Zhang, the envoy of the government, Li Wenjun from Zhongshushe, and his assistant Tan Qian often come to accompany the imperial concubine to work and draft edicts.

Originally, Tan Qian could say that he always wanted to give his aunt a face, but other ministers were extremely uncomfortable, but the government couldn't keep a backlog for half a month.However, seeing various types of government affairs, the imperial concubine was quite familiar with them when she was in charge of the government. Occasionally she asked the key points, and she handled them in a decent manner, which made the ministers gradually calm down.That is, Zhu Pi's handwriting is almost similar to that of the sage, and has her distinctive personal style. When the ministers saw it, they thought to themselves: It turned out that it was taught by the sage.

Although Tu Yuanyi didn't let her contact the court before, he spent most of his time with her, including reviewing memorials, in the Ganlu Hall where she lived, except for discussing matters at the court or visiting the Beijing camp and factories.

When he is busy, she often sorts the memorials into categories for him, or makes some key summaries to reduce his burden, and also sees Tu Yuanyi's handling of various things. She is actually very familiar with ordinary memorials and government affairs Yes, except that she never comes to the front desk.

After approving the memorial sent today, and sending it down again, she thought that she could finally relax a little bit, and she thought to herself: Being an emperor is actually not fun at all, and it is not easy for a man to earn money to support his family, should we be gentler to him in the future? .

But seeing Xiao Hou and others rushed back, it was already the second day after the incident, Xing Xiuyan raised his eyebrows, and called people into the tent to discuss secretly.

Ordered to retreat to the left and right, leaving only four people including Xiao Hou, Xiao Hou reported the details with a strange expression. When he heard the three people Jin Shiyue had found, Xing Xiuyan chuckled and commented: "This second master Jin is also a Wonderful man! The task objective has been completed beyond Bengong’s expectations!”

Xiao Hou said: "Is this still something to be proud of?" He has been criticized several times by his wife.

Xing Xiuyan said: "Although this plan is a bit poisonous, for the villain who plots against our Chinese society, he will be treated as a villain. Just like Taoist martial arts fighting with people, one yin and one yang control the enemy, and deal with the country. The enemy also needs Yin and Yang to be able to defeat the opponent."

Xing Xiuyan held it with one hand, and gently pinched the jade pendant hanging on her waist with the other hand, with a leisurely smile on her face, obviously quite happy.

Ouyang Lei said: "In the evening, people from the Mongolian Zhungeer tribe, officials from the prefect of the border town, and some guards from the royal palace of Xining County who helped to find Prince Timur, and people from other Mongolian tribes were looking for Prince Timur. I heard that the scene was very embarrassing. ..."

More than just embarrassment, Timur's jacket had been shredded into strips of cloth, his bare buttocks were covered with bruises and bleeding, and he was lying on the haystack with wet tears in the corners of his eyes.

The friends from all sides couldn't help being stunned when they rushed into the Guandi Temple.They all deeply remembered that scene in their minds.Anyway, the Mongols of the Zhungeer tribe felt that their prince was extremely shameful.

Ouyang Lei can't describe it properly, but how can Xing Xiuyan fail to imagine it?

Xing Xiuyan laughed twice, and said to the people present: "Dare to plot the peace of our Han people, and even caused the sage to be seriously injured. Finally, you have vented your anger! You have all worked hard."

The crowd replied: "The minister waits for his duty!"

Xing Xiuyan looked at Xiao Hou, and said with a smile like Mu Chunfeng: "I think that Lord Hou is a capable person. It has never been the fault of Lord Hou. It is not the fault of Lord Hou. It is the old sage who sometimes misjudged him back then, and did not know people well. There are 1 people in the palace who are not as good as the old saints, but I think that Lord Hou is a talent who can save the country and the people at critical moments, and loyally protect the lord."

Mrs. Xiao Hou looked weird, and said: "Just doing such a thing, is it still a talent? Madam, stop joking."

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said: "I'm sorry for this matter, madam. It's a little disgusting. Let's treat comrades as warm as spring, and treat enemies as cruel as winter." Timur is an enemy, so he must be cruel .”

The four people present heard the imperial concubine's smile, and said "we, we" for a while, and couldn't help feeling close in their hearts.Although she can be regarded as a gentleman, they regard her as a friend in their hearts. To be a good friend, they must show loyalty.

Even Mrs. Xiaohou, although she felt that the imperial concubine had made a disgusting plot, she did not blame the imperial concubine in her heart.

Xiao Hou asked, "What is a comrade?"

Just two men... uh... no...

Xing Xiuyan smiled and explained to Xiao Hou: "It's like-minded friends. Everyone has shortcomings, but comrades must understand and tolerate each other. For example, we, Xiaohou and I are not close in martial arts, which is also a shortcoming, but Mrs. Nie Will He and the two heroes look down on us because of this? Of course not, when we can't defeat the enemy, they will definitely help us, this is called treating comrades with spring-like warmth."

Xiao Hou said: "This 'comrade' means 'brother', right?"

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said, "Those in the Jianghu are called 'brothers', and those of us who have contributed to the country and society of the Great Zhou can be called 'comrades'."

Mrs. Xiao Hou said with a smile: "Mother, don't laugh at him, let outsiders hear, he really wants to go to the sky, I don't have such a thick skin."

Xing Xiuyan quoted that sentence in passing, she didn't expect Xiao Hou to ask, and she answered truthfully when she saw that there was no outsider, but the latter sentence about what contributed to Jiangshan Sheji was a bit of a joke, because Xiao Hou is famous " The good-for-nothing Marquis" is in stark contrast to his father who is both civil and military, and who is so powerful in the world.At that time, some people also said that Xiao Lang and Xiao Kai were typical "tiger father and dog son".

Hearing Madam Xiaohou's words at this time, I thought to myself that I had accidentally acted contemptuously, Madam Nie is a fierce wife but she protects her husband very tightly, she is afraid that she will be unhappy.

So Xing Xiuyan said: "Xiaohou was able to marry a unique wife, and gave birth to a son who was talented and handsome, and even hired a daughter-in-law who was extremely intelligent and poetic, and had friends all over the court. Sitting on tens of millions of family wealth but not losing it all. How many people in the world can achieve so much success in both directions?"

When Xiao Hou heard this, he smiled for a moment and said: "The parents who gave birth to me, the wife who loves me, and the imperial concubine who knows me!"

When leaving the imperial concubine's tent, Xiao Hou's footsteps were windy, Mrs. Xiao Hou was helpless, and the second hero was also very angry and funny.

The small bamboo strip routine is too deep.

……

Jin Shichao, as the vassal king guarding Shuofang, had to ask Prince Timur about the accident at this time, and invited three of the most famous doctors in the border town to see Timur's wounds.

However, according to Timur's brief description of the villains, everyone knew that they were "Tumor Two", "Diarrhea King", and "Zhao Sanniang" three "celebrities" from the border town, and the doctors were a little unhappy.When seeing Timu for a consultation, he was very tightly guarded to prevent him from getting dirty and poisonous.

Seeing the wound in the back/court and somewhere in front, the doctors only felt itchy throat and tumbling stomach, so they only prescribed medicine, telling Suhebalu to pay attention to cleanliness, how to deal with trauma, and how to decoct medicine.After the doctors explained, they escaped faster than rabbits.

Timur couldn't get out of bed for the next three days, and because he was about to get out of bed on the fourth day, the newly scabbed chrysanthemum was tortured/tortured, and because of his weakness, he was prescribed tonic, just when the stool was hard.

Sure enough, the most difficult thing for human beings to defeat is themselves.

Suhebalu was instructed by Timur to negotiate with Jin Shichao, who was in charge of greeting the envoys, and demanded that the wicked be severely punished and the two traitors caught.

When Jin Shichao heard Suhebalu's conveyance, of course he discarded the original relationship between the Zhungeer tribe and the Ma family, saying that it was the remnants of the Ma family who caused the chaos.

Jin Shichao just felt dumbfounded. Obviously, the sage summoned all the ministers with his sick body on that day. At that time, he was basically sure that the Zhungeer tribe was in collusion with the remnants of the Ma family. Why now Timur said that the remnants of the Ma family still wanted his life? To stir up the hatred between the Han and Mongolian races?

As soon as the Mongols were sent away, the second younger brother Jin Shiyue came over with a birdcage, and said with a smile, "Brother, it's rare that you are not in the army. Come and see my new pair of thrushes. They are singing so well!"

Jin Shichao sighed: "How can I be so leisurely as to amuse the birds?"

Jin Shiyue wondered: "What's the matter? Could it be that the emperor...is dissatisfied with our Jin family?"

Jin Shichao scolded: "Stop talking nonsense here! Go play somewhere else!"

Jin Shiyue said: "Brother, I am also concerned about you! I see that you are busy and want to help, but my brother's ability is low."

Jin Shichao suddenly changed his mind: This younger brother is fighting cocks and lackeys, but he has a very wide network of contacts, so he was allowed to follow in the hall.

Because Jin Shichao asked the three "strange people" who committed the crime, Jin Shiyue smiled and said: "Oh, my elder brother is in charge of the affairs of the Sheji court, why did you ask these three people?"

Jin Shichao asked: "Do you still know each other? Do you have any friends who know where to find them?"

Jin Shiyue said: "Why did Big Brother look for them?"

Jin Shichao said: "Nowadays there are few people in the house who don't know, let alone you haven't heard of it."

Jin Shiyue chuckled twice, and ordered the servant girl who was waiting on him to back down. Jin Shichao squinted at his younger brother to see what he was up to.

Seeing that there was no one around, Jin Shiyue approached his elder brother and said with a smile: "Elder brother, don't bother looking for people, you won't be able to find them."

"Why can't I find it?" Jin Shichao looked at him suspiciously.

Jin Shiyue said: "I sent people to send them away. I don't know whether to go south or north. Xu also sent them to the sea. Unless they are wanted on the emperor's list, they should not be found."

Jin Shichao widened his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Yes... you did it?!"

Jin Shiyue smiled and said, "I just made a little plan."

Jin Shichao shouted: "You are so brave, that is the Mongolian prince!"

Jin Shiyue sneered and said, "Oh, the Mongols don't have many things, but there are many princes, princes, and princesses."

Jin Shichao yelled angrily at the table: "Presumptuous! You are going to put my Jin family in a state of eternal doom! If Timur dies at the hands of the Jin family, how will you end this matter!"

Jin Shiyue said: "Brother, obviously they don't know! I'm going to tell you to let you be sloppy when looking for the culprit, otherwise you will really look for it carefully, or stab it in front of the emperor. arrest, then I will have to kill people to silence them. Didn't you allow me to make a killing?"

Jin Shichao regained his composure: That's right, almost all Mongolians now know that the remnants of the Ma family have kidnapped people, and the occurrence of such a tragedy was an accident. What does it have to do with his Jin family?

He changed his mind again and asked: "Since you did it, how do you know that you blamed Mrs. Ma?"

Jin Shiyue said: "What Ma?"

"You don't know?" Jin Shichao wondered, "Didn't you blame Ma Baocheng's remnants and kidnap him?"

After Jin Shiyue realized that his "script" was only "Nine Yin Fragments", he obviously worked much harder than Xiao Kai, so he couldn't help cursing: "What a Xiao Kai! How dare you lie to me!"

Jin Shichao said: "Marquis Dingzhong also has a share?!"

Only then did Jin Shiyue resentfully talk about how Xiao Kai came to see him that day, and how they came to make detailed plans later.

Jin Shiyue said: "Xiao Kai said that Timur was very arrogant, offended him, so he wanted to break his man's back, and that's why he came up with such an idea that hurts people more than he pays for his life."

Jin Shichao's eyes flashed complicated expressions. Although Jin Shiyue is cunning, he has not been exposed to as many things as Jin Shichao, so the pattern is naturally different.Jin Shichao knew that Ouyang Lei and Chunyu Bai were the two heroes who kidnapped people, so he had many guesses in his mind.

Xiao Kai never cared about the affairs of the court, or because his son was going to be an official in the court, so he came out again.The Xiao family and Concubine Chen have a close relationship and are related by in-laws. When something happened to the emperor, Concubine Chen immediately called them to the paddock.On that day, the Golden Account discussed the matter, and the general plan had already been decided, and Da Zhou could not tear himself apart with the Mongols.

Jin Shichao is always a smart person, saying: "You have done everything, so I have no choice but to support you. Also, if those people are not controlled, you... don't leave any excuses, and don't make an example."

Jin Shiyue gritted his teeth and said, "I will definitely settle the score with Xiao Kai!"

Jin Shichao said hehe: "We have been friends for decades, and it is hard to reunite. When you can't see each other, you miss him again."

Jin Shiyue said: "Brother, can you stop talking about the old Huangli? Back then... I was also misled. Didn't everyone in Beijing say that Xiao Kai was as beautiful as a girl? I thought he was a woman disguised as a man... ..." At the time when they were most intimate, Jin Shiyue was fifteen or sixteen years old, Xiao Kai was only thirteen or fourteen, and Xiao Kai's voice hadn't changed yet.At that time Xiao Kai's appearance was peerless, even women could not compare to him, not to mention that women were not so caring, just looking at his face sometimes made him dumbfounded.Although he once deceived and hoped that he was a woman, his feelings for him surpassed that of men and women. He is the memory of his youth, and his sorrows and joys are mostly related to him.

Jin Shichao said: "I don't have time to take care of your shit, you keep your mouth shut. Those who dealt with it should not stay in the border towns recently, and everything will be sent away to the Mongols."

Jin Shichao sent Jin Shiyue away, but he couldn't help laughing playfully in the hall alone.

It is said that beating people should not be slapped in the face, this is to swell the faces of Zhungeer and Timur!What's more, they still have nothing to do with Da Zhou, obviously this suffering is for sure.

This kind of revenge and scheming is really ruthless!This woman can completely win the hearts of saints, control Jinyiwei and Xichang, and make good use of Xiaohou's group in the outer dynasty. Now she is very orderly in handling government affairs temporarily.It is not difficult to take revenge on the Mongols. What is rare is that while taking revenge, they can also accurately grasp the general strategy of "harmony with Mongolia" so as not to cause catastrophe to the court.It's really a heroine among women.

Knowing the inside-behind the scenes, the investigators headed by Jin Shichao naturally adhered to the excellent style of court officials-procrastinating. Anyway, they searched casually for a long time, but failed to catch anyone.

Timur waited for Dazhou to find someone on the bed with a huge psychological shadow area and physical pain, but all failed.

The Zhungeer Mongols demanded that Dazhou issue a national sea arrest document, but Jin Shichao, the prefect of the border town and others told them that they did not have this authority.

Only when the case is reported to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for review, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice feels it is necessary, can it issue a national search and arrest reward document.

People in Zhungeer were angry, we read less, but don't lie to us!The emperor is hunting in the north, so why send the Kyoto Ministry of Criminal Justice to review and issue a nationwide search and arrest warrant?

Jin Shichao and others said: The saint has not recovered from his serious injuries and is currently recuperating in retreat, so he cannot issue this order.However, other officials in Shuofang perform their own duties, and they are not close to the Ministry of Punishment and have no right to overstep.Only the aggrieved prince waited to send the report to Kyoto first or waited for the saint to recover and deal with the matter.

The efficiency of Dazhou officials is not the most tormented by Timur. There are many things that make him more tormented. One of them is that envoys from other Mongolian tribes will "kindly" come to "visit" him. In fact, this is the matter. It's so weird that even the Mongols themselves can't help but gloat over others' misfortune.

For example: Prince Burigude of the Khalkha tribe, who was not on good terms with the Jungar tribe, said in front of envoys from other tribes, "Timerer is the most beautiful man in Mongolia, and that's why he was attacked by bandits one after another when he entered the Great Zhou Dynasty." .

Originally, other Mongols would support the Mongols to some extent, but now the Emperor of the Great Zhou was also a victim, and they were also present that day. I really don’t blame the Great Zhou court for this matter.Therefore, the saying that "Tamerlane is the most beautiful man in Mongolia" is still very popular.

……

Speaking of both ends, Tu Yuanyi pulled out the poisonous needle on his back, and it went much smoother when he entered the cave to heal his wounds.

While absorbing spiritual power, he is running magical powers at the big acupoints of the eight meridians of the Zhoutian Qi Meridian. When he is running "Yang Jin", he is in the spiritual spring water, and the spiritual power and essence are continuously entering-entering-into the body from the skin or the big acupoints. When the method of "Yin Elimination" is cast, the spiritual power in the body is sent to all parts of the body through the eight extraordinary meridians, nourishing and purifying the viscera, bone marrow, flesh and skin, and consumed. excreted.

At the beginning, he was still weak and his progress was very slow, but later it became faster and faster.In the beginning, there was only one reincarnation of "Yang Jin" and "Yin Disappearing" in one day, which became three reincarnations in two days, and then two a day, four a day, eight a day... until No.13, he actually achieved success in one day. Do ninety-nine and 81 reincarnations.In other words, within an hour, he almost completed seven reincarnations, which is really very fast.At this time, there is no more poison left in the body, and the body is even more improved than before.

In the end, he regained his gong power to fill his dantian, and he actually felt that his spiritual power had increased by two layers compared to before. Four years after his rebirth, his gong power had been barely improved, let alone increased by [-]% in a short period of time. That is, the total increase over the years has been less than half.

Tu Yuanyi couldn't help thinking: Could it be that poisoning and injury would make him unable to break through?Is it possible to use poison to practice qigong in the future?

But just thinking about it this way, I finally feel that the kung fu he practiced is the righteous way, if he uses poison to self-mutilate the kung fu, it is a heretical way, and he will only end up in danger of going crazy.

Tu Yuanyifu saw it again: I can be reborn as an emperor, change the situation of the world, and benefit the people, it is a blessing beyond heaven.If a person insists that blessings exceed merits, most of them are close to the end of life, and only by talking about fate can they return to the original and return to the original, and they should not be too greedy to fall into the magic barrier.

Tu Yuanyi can penetrate the law of time and space, and he also has some virtues for Yishu.

But because of his advanced skills, he still practiced for two days in the Dongtian Mansion, and found that he could barely use some self-cultivation skills that he could not practice when he was a human being.

Because I really couldn't delay any longer, and I missed my daughter-in-law, I left the Dongtian Mansion.
